Excuses

[Verse 1] Can't spare a dime for charity Because perfect change is what matters to me Pinch every penny and stroll to the bank Beg for a loan on my humble estate Teddy, Georgie, sweet Benjamin My terrible friends They never call or even pretend To worry about me when money is thin [Chorus 1] I can't afford to fall in love No I can't afford to fall in love (Excuses, excuses) Yeah I got plenty of other (excuses, excuses) I can't afford to fall in [Verse 2] No time for this, no time for that No time for patience, no time for a laugh No time to know that I'm out of my league No time to get myself back on my feet No time for you, no time for me No time for lessons, no time to be free No time for good times of sweet memories No time for stragglers or sympathy [Chorus 2] 'Cause I don't have time to fall in love I don't have time to fall in love (No no no not today) (Tomorrow is too far away) (Can I change before my time runs out?) [Bridge] I can't wait for the phone to ring I can't wait for summer, I can't wait for spring I can't wait for someone who can't wait for me I can't wait to fall in love [Bridge] I can't wait for the phone to ring I can't wait for summer, I can't wait for spring I can't wait for someone who can't wait for me I can't wait to fall in love [Bridge] I can't wait for the phone to ring I can't wait for summer, I can't wait for spring I can't wait for someone who can't wait for me I can't wait to fall in love [Outro] I just can't wait Oooh Excuses, excuses, excuses Oooh Excuses, excuses, excuses (phone ringing)
